Next Saturday they have changed the starting time of the footie in Adelaide so footie fans can still see her race. Racing people loved Makybe Diva, Kingston Town & Gunsynd (and Phar Lap & Bernborough but before my time) but the whole nation loves Nelly!

Landed safe and sound and apparently all going to plan. Only dropped 9 kilo on the trip and has put that back on. Lets hope she gets a half decent track to show the rest of the world how good us Aussies already know she is.

What was that win worth to the bettors? I'd guess about 20 cents or less.

Yeah these horses are great stories but bettors want to see some value for their wagering bucks.

I love a punt as much as the next man but you dont have to bet on every single race mate. Its races like this where you can fully enjoy them without even thinking about having a punt on the race that makes the sport so great.

Well that win won't convince any doubters but it was, nethertheless, a win.

She did not race like the Black Caviar that we know and even if Nolen had ridden her out she only wins by a half length. It was a workman like performance rather than the explosive efforts that we have grown accustomed to. Despite Moody saying prior to the race that she had never been in better condition, she clearly wasn't and raced like a tired horse. Only the very best can win races of that calibre when not at their prime.

I doubt we will se her race again but she has captured the imagination of Australians like no other horse in living memory.
